Eagles Name 2006 Captains

Bridgewater's tri-captains for the upcoming season will be junior quarterback Jeff Highfill, senior linebacker Craig Smith and senior running back Winston Young. They were picked by their teammates.

Highfill (William Byrd / Roanoke, Va.) is coming off a 2005 campaign having started four of the last five games, including all three playoff contests. In his four starts, he was 46-for-77 passing for 557 yards and five touchdowns.

After missing the entire 2005 season due to injury, Smith (Kellam / Virginia Beach, Va.) will look to pick up where he left off in 2004, when he led the team with 79 tackles at middle linebacker.

Young (Boyd Anderson / Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.) is currently fourth in school history in scoring with 204 points (34 touchdowns), only 11 scores away from setting the school record. He also has 2,019 career rushing yards, good for eighth all-time.
